Bengals Give DC Mike Zimmer a Contract Extension

The Bengals got a steal four years back when they were able to lure defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer to come to Cincy.

He’s been through a lot, as have the Bengals, and he has been rewarded with a new contract extension. His defense has been ranked in the top 10 of defenses over the four seasons he’s run the Bengals D.

The deal for Zimmer will keep him with the Bengals through at least the 2014 season.
